That's certainly the case on deadline day of any transfer window and there's no reason to suggest it will be any different tomorrow.

We know the drill by now. The declarations from gaffers that they're done and dusted and heading home only to be pictured proudly with a new signing hours later and the glimpses of players, usually clutching a Louis Vuitton toiletries bag, strolling into training grounds or club headquarters to put pen to paper on their "dream move".

Managers bemoan the transfer deadline system, unsurprisingly, but while it's still in operation they'll look to make the most of it.

So what can we expect tomorrow both at Rockliffe and around the rest of the Championship?

Any incomings at Boro?

Until the Albert Adomah situation reared its head, the talk coming out of Boro was that the manager and club chiefs were happy with the squad and weren't looking to do any extra business unless someone landed gift wrapped on Aitor Karanka's desk.

The Adomah upset obviously changes that and if the winger does move on, Boro would surely have to replace him.

Even if Adomah stays, he's clearly out of favour at the minute leaving Aitor Karanka with just three out and out wingers to call upon.

One of those is Yanic Wildschut who has made less than a handful of league starts for the club since he signed last summer.

Boro will undoubtedly be looking at potential replacements for Adomah, should he leave the club.

The name which won't go away this summer is Michail Antonio, the Nottingham Forest winger, but reports yesterday claimed the winger is set for a £7m move to West Ham.

Elsewhere, Boro strengthened the centre of their defence with the acquisition of Fernando Amorebieta and Aitor Karanka got the extra keeper he felt was required when Michael Agazzi's deal was finally confirmed.

The only other position where Boro look a little thin is at right-back where Emilio Nsue, who was excellent at Sheffield Wednesday, is the only current back-up to Tomas Kalas..

Any outgoings at Boro?

All eyes on Albert.

It's very much as we were with the Adomah situation at the minute.

The winger is still believed to be awaiting the club's response to his official transfer request after, as expected, not travelling to Sheffield Wednesday with the squad at the weekend.

There's talk of QPR lining up a move for Adomah, an inevitable link, but any concrete interest would surely depend on whether they sell Charlie Austin and Matt Phillips in the next 24 hours.

But even if the Hoops did come calling, it would leave Boro with a decision to make as to whether they want to sell Adomah to a rival club.

Another aspect to take into account is a replacement. While it's obvious all isn't well between Karanka and Adomah, the winger was one of Boro's best players in the second half of last season and would have to be replaced if he did move on.

Aitor Karanka has repeatedly talked of his confidence of having the best possible squad after deadline day. With that in mind, the unhappy Adomah is the only likely departure, should an acceptable offer land.

What's happening elsewhere

Plenty. Unless you've been hibernating for the past month you'll be aware of the fact Derby County are desperate to sign a midfielder.

Former Boro man Jacob Butterfield has been one of their targets, speculation which Butterfield admits has been "stressful".

"I’m constantly getting asked about what is happening," he said after Huddersfield's defeat to QPR at the weekend.

“I have just tried to focus on doing what I can do on the pitch for Huddersfield.

“It’s almost a relief to get out on the pitch and just think about football. That’s what I’m paid to do at the end of the day."

Talking of stress, QPR boss Chris Ramsey says it's going to be a "nerve wracking" final few hours of the window, "but that's the nature of the business."

QPR have reportedly made out of favour duo Junior Hoilett and Armand Traore available on free transfers, which could turn the heads of a few clubs.

Blackburn Rovers aren't expecting any incomings tomorrow, while Burnley boss Sean Dyche says: "If there’s something we think is appropriate then we would still look at it but we’re not as active as we were a week or two ago."

Sheffield Wednesday have been active in recent days, signing Michael Turner from Norwich and Fernando Forestieri from Watford. And reports over the weekend suggested the Owls had bid £10m for Fulham's Ross McCormack.

Struggling Brentford are desperate to make additions with boss Marinus Dijkhuizen revealing he's hopeful of signing at least one player before the deadline.

Meanwhile, Hull City's wage bill looks set to be eased as Nikica Jelavic closes in on a £3m move to West Ham.

What about loan moves?

Clubs don't have their hands completely tied after tomorrow's 6pm deadline, for the emergency loan window will open next week.

That gives Football League clubs the chance to wrap up loan deals which can last between 28 and 93 days.
